Gear-Shops.net™ has created this privacy statement in order to disclose our information gathering and dissemination practices for the web sites in our network.

Upon reading this privacy statement, you will know:

Who is collecting information via this web site;

Gear-Shops.net™ Information Privacy Policies

Gear-Shops.net™is the sole recipient of the information it gathers on this web site. We will not share any of this information with any outside party without your explicit consent unless we are required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law, cooperate with law enforcement agencies, or comply with a legal process served on our web site.

The Gear-Shops.net™ server counts page hits, logs IP addresses, identifies browser types and time zones, and determines general system capabilities at the user's end. Summary information related to these parameters is examined periodically to determine if changes should be made to the way in which content is made available on our web sites. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. In other words, a user’s session can be tracked, but the user always remains anonymous.

We provide email links on all site pages to allow you to contact us directly with any questions or comments you may have. We read every message and try to reply promptly. We use your email address only to respond to these questions or comments. We may, however, file your comments in order to improve the site and it's offerings.

If you decide to purchase a product or service directly from Gear-Shops.net™, it is necessary for us to collect contact information and some financial information. These details are collected via forms delivered to your web browser by a secure server, and, in most cases, are processed by a neutral third party such as PayPal. On the order forms, you are asked to provide your email address, your credit card account number, and the credit card billing address. The email address is used to contact customers about their orders, and the credit card information is used to obtain payment for our services. This financial information is stored in a password-protected directory on a secure server and is accessed using 128-bit encryption to ensure security. We use this information solely for the purpose of billing customers for our products and services, and we delete it from the server soon after receiving confirmation that the payment has been processed. We NEVER share this information with third parties

Our sites contain links to products and services on other sites, and these links include tracking codes that tell our partners you linked to them via one of the Gear-Shops.net™ sites. If you subsequently purchase a product or service from the partner site, the tracking information is used to allocate a commission to Gear-Shops.net™ for facilitating the transaction. You will, of course, need to supply the partner site with financial information similar to that described above in order to make such purchases. Gear-Shops.net™ chooses its partners carefully, but we cannot be responsible for the way in which information is handled by our partner sites. We therefore encourage customers to review the privacy policies of these sites prior to making purchases if they have concerns.

Some of our site pages contain an opt-in subscription form for our newsletters. From time-to-time, we send promotional notices to the email addresses in this opt-in database. We don't do that very often, and you can opt-out of receiving these promotional mailings if you wish. More specifically, all of our mail-outs contain a link that you can follow to be automatically delete your email address from our mailing list. We respect your right not to receive such material if you prefer not to, and all removal requests are honored.

Gear-Shops.net™ is committed to protecting the privacy and security of all information collected from visitors to our web site. If you have any concerns about the way in which we have handled such information, please contact Gear-shops.net administration via email. If, after doing so, you do not feel that your concerns have been adequately addressed, then we encourage you to contact the company that hosts our sites. The sites are currently hosted by:
